Forestland Resiliency

We will tour a small, locally owned forest and learn about the biggest issues for local forests: threat of conversion, climate change, and biodiversity loss–with a focus on what landowners should know and actions they can be taking today to address these issues. A group of presenters will speak, including Andrea Watts, a local forest landowner, science writer, and editor on numerous forestry related issues, and experts with the WA Department of Natural Resources, Forest Pathologist Amy Ramsey, Forest Geneticist Jeff DeBell , Small Forest Landowner Technical Assistance Forester Josh Meek and Forest Stewardship Program Forester Julie Sackett.
